La Fete du Manger Local

Loads of producteurs/farmers etc. from the Ile de France department onboard to share their bounty.

It was a perfect day for picnicking, bright and sunny.

Delicious gloopy home-made jams.

Made by the ice cream lady.

I ate the very fraise/strawberry. It could not have been more berry.

Why do I want everything I see at these special marches especially if it has cherries in it.

Nutty breads for your cherry jam.

Or you could go the ham route.

I got a big bottle of apple-pear juice for 3 euros.

Fruit juices come bubbly or flat.

The mushroom lady, Marianne, a champignonnier

I got a 1/2 kilos of champignon de Paris.

It's Fall so there must be a French squirrel.

Why didn't I get fresh cresson instead of the cherry tomatoes. Did you know you can go picking fruit and veg on local farms around Paris? I sat down for a munch and noticed a free-range mushroom lurking but decided to let it be. Don't miss the pop-up gastronomic markets in Paris. Loads of tastes and loads of fun.

Quelle belle journée~!I would have gravitated towards the mushrooms for sure~But the breads first~Marilyn is so coquette! Love it..I may be in Provence in 2014..but Paris..not so sure..My friend..goes around Oct 20th..She lived there for years..I see it through her..and you:)

Late summertime produce is still ripening on the vine or stem, while early autumn stars (les pommes et poires) are beginning to take the stage. Lots of sunflowers and chrysanths on view in the farmers markets, too.

Squash both summer and fall versions, as well, and pumpkins are waiting in the wings. It's sweater weather, with evenings getting just a bit chillier.

Such energy! It's great fun to see how Paris displays the riches of this particular time of the year.

I'm exhausted following me around ;(I'm not sure I've figured it out..I tend to overdo things and suffered the consequences last nite with a very upset tumI've yet to learn the French way of moderation..ahem

I am so enthralled with your posts since you've moved there. It's beyond beautiful and so inviting, the food looks just out of this world. Wish I were there with you. I'm making notes of all your points of interest for the next time I go. I just love to see your posts every morning, you make me drool a bit. xo
